Note that the one benefit the sys.main-only variant doesn't have is the lower cognitive load of just having to know about main, instead of having to know about name, import and sys.main.

From my POV that is indeed a lower cognitive load because all I need to remember is to look in the docs for the sys module -- everything else is there.
